One Classic Dream
Whenever I stepped out into the open reflection of God's brilliant painting, I would stand in awe and hold my breath for it was a truly bewildering sight. While gracefully leaning over the egg-shaped poolside, I would gently stroke the passive waters, feeling their cool warmth envelope my hand. Yet, the dark, murky and ironically lucid water complimented the crystal cast of an open night. Floating ax1 the soothing waters and gazing into the night, each star was like a diamond suspended in mid-air. Whenever I glanced at the night sky suspended by the waters, I would look at my own reflection and try to find just a trace of a diamond in my heart - a diamond that signified just one thing, love... Much as I do remember about my quiet and peaceful moments watching the stars glisten and flicker across the velvet curtains of the night, I have never been able to recall what happened after the night's gazing.

What I had been longing for were those arms, of the one that I love so much, to be wound gently around me and for his warm hands to caress my face - the arms that would assuage my emotional need. I reluctantly closed my eyes as a warm tear escaped from the slits. I woke up coiled in my white goose down comforter, with stains of dry rivers that ran down my numb cheeks, and my hair knotted into a giant mass like black night crawlers swarming out of a hole after April's showers. I stared at my stucco white ceiling that can possess a million figures whenever I put the effort and imagination into it, and it was then that I realized my imagination had carried me away off into a wonderland again.
